Collection of L.T.D.
Long-running funk outfit L.T.D. -- Love, Togetherness and Devotion --
was formed in Greensboro, NC in 1968 by keyboardist Jimmie "J.D." Davis
and bassist Abraham "Onion" Miller, both former backing musicians for
the great Sam and Dave. Upon relocating to New York City, the twosome
recruited guitarist Johnny McGhee, horn player Carle Vickers,
saxophonists Arthur "Lorenzo" Carnegie, Toby Wynn and Abraham Miller,
and trombonist Jake Riley, Jr. Vocalist/drummer Jeffrey Osborne also
signed on before the group settled in Los Angeles, where Osborne's
brother, keyboardist Billy Osborne joined the lineup as well. L.T.D.
signed with the A&M label to issue their 1974 debut Love,
Togetherness and Devotion. On their third LP, 1976's Love to the World,
the group scored their first Top 20 pop hit, "Love Ballad." The
follow-up, 1977's Something to Love, included the Top Five smash "(Every
Time I Turn Around) Back in Love Again," and four years later L.T.D.
returned to the Top 40 once again with "Shine On." However, Osborne then
exited to pursue a solo career, and despite the additions of vocalists
Leslie Wilson and Andre Ray, the band's commercial fortunes dimmed. In
the wake of 1981's Love Magic, L.T.D. disbanded, but during the early
'90s McGhee reformed the group, with 1999's Marry You featuring
vocalists Greg Henneghan, Nakeisha Turner and Ronnie Henson, bassist
Terry Gamble, keyboardist Ryan Cooper, drummer Jay Nichols and
percussionist Mamadi Nyasuma. Allmusic by Jason Ankeny
